I don't think intelligence can be measured that easily on a one dimensional axis, with a dot marking the intelligence of "humans". If you look at all the possible intelligences, not just the organic ones we know of, measuring intelligence becomes extremely difficult. Measuring the intelligence of humans has been difficult in the past and so far we pretty much only have IQ (meaning logical tasks) test. Many have opposed this, saying that intelligence (in humans) is really something more than simple logic. Emotional intelligence,etc. If measuring the intelligence in VERY SIMILAR systems (compared to the vast 'mind design space') is difficult, then measuring all intelligences must be near impossible (unless someone can pull out that magic definition of intelligence). It also seems *very* human-centric to compare everything to humans..
Maybe measuring intelligence is like measuring how good a tool is. It depends on what you need it for. 2007/5/9, J. Storrs Hall, PhD. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
In Beyond AI I have a taxonomy (and Kurzweil picked that chapter, among others, to post on his site). in brief: Hypohuman AI -- below human ability and under human control Diahuman AI -- somewhere in the human range (which is large!) Epihuman AI -- smarter/more capable than human, but equivalent to a moderate-sized company (of very smart people) Hyperhuman AI -- equivalent to or better than all humans working in a given subject area and two involving a design stance rather than a capability level Parahuman AI -- designed to work alongside humans and relate Allohuman AI -- optimized for other things in ways that humans have a harder time relating to Josh On Wednesday 09 May 2007 06:14, John G.
